Registry of Hospitalized patients at Brigham and Women's Hospital treated with Fondaparinux
This is a prospective comparison of clinician dosing and a pharmacogenetic algorithm in diagnosed patients requiring warfarin therapy.
More than 5 years ago the DVT FREE Registry was conceived. Its database consists of 5,451 ultrasound-confirmed DVT patients from 183 institutions. This database is rich in information of critical importance to health care providers. The information contained within the database will be revisited to provide more detailed analyses which will be used for risk factor assessment and for decision-making regarding the implementation of VTE Prophylaxis.
The purpose of this study is to learn whether apixaban prevents the development of blood clots in the leg (deep vein thrombosis) and lung (pulmonary embolism), which sometimes occur after knee replacement surgery, and to compare the efficacy of apixaban with that of enoxaparin (Lovenox®) in the prevention of these clots. The safety of apixaban will also be studied.
ABSTRACT Background The optimal duration of oral anticoagulant treatment in patients with idiopathic venous thromboembolism is still uncertain . The present study addressed the possible role of the Residual Vein Thrombosis in assessing the need for a prolonged anticoagulation. Methods Patients with a first episode of symptomatic unprovoked or provoked proximal Vein Thrombosis (VT) were given Oral Anticoagulant Treatment (OAT) for 3 months. Residual Vein Thrombosis (RVT), ultrasonographically-detected, will be then assessed. Patients without RVT did not continue OAT, whereas those with RVT will be randomized to either stop or continue OAT for 9 more months. Patients were followed-up prospectively focusing on the study outcomes: occurrence of recurrent venous thromboembolism and major bleeding over a period of at least 12 months after OAT discontinuation.
Prospective controlled randomized clinical trial. Consecutive patients with acute proximal deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremities, with or without contemporary manifestations of pulmonary embolism, are randomized to receive either a below-knee or a full-leg graduated compression (30-40 mm Hg at the ankle) elastic stocking for prevention of the post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS). All patients are followed up to three years to assess the development of the PTS, defined according to a validated clinical score (the Villalta scale). The rate of PTS is compared between the two study groups. In addition, there is an assessment of patients' compliance and tolerability of the two different devices.
The purpose of this study is to learn whether apixaban can prevent the blood clots in the leg (deep vein thrombosis) and lung (pulmonary embolism) that sometimes occur after hip replacement surgery and to learn how apixaban compares with enoxaparin in preventing these clots. The safety of apixaban will also be studied
To determine whether fondaparinux as monotherapy without warfarin is effective and safe for long-term (90 days) treatment of DVT and/or PE, thus gaining new long-term experience and data using fondaparinux.
To investigate the efficacy and safety of once daily enoxaparin as a "bridge" to warfarin for the outpatient treatment of acute deep venous thrombosis or pulmonary embolism.
